Hi everyone,
We have dropped another EAP(8.0.0-struts-m39) for Struts2, Please find the full highlights on Struts 2 upgrade page.

@scott.dudley please find the answers to each of your point below:

  1. CONFSERVER-79847([CONFSERVER-79767] Fix Space Tools, Templates page - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.) was a higher priority for us as well given its impact on plugins. Please let us know if you still face any issues with it.
  2. We have CONFSERVER-79767 in progress for this, please watch it for the updates.
  3. It is great observation, fortunately, we had a task for the same in Confluence core before we pushed the first milestone. We would update the Struts upgrade to accomodate this soon.
  4. We see one Velocity related item which touches upon dispatcher and the engine. We will try to reproduce your problem in that, please reach out if you find any concrete steps for reproduction. There are some quirks around ServletActionContext as ServletDispatcher was a Servlet in Webwork, while Struts’s StrutsPrepareFilter/StrutsExecuteFilter are ServletFilters which clears the Context and states.
  5. Please follow CONFSERVER-79907 to track AttachmentMacro feedback.
  6. We have just handled the logSpam, we would add some directions on allowed-methods parameter for XWork module with the next milestone. This is optional and is not needed for actions using execute or has method wiring.

Thanks,
Ganesh
